So one of us has to be the "everything will be okay" person. I get that job...yay? So as far as surgery goes. I'm being positive, no worries. Assuring Brad all will be okay.
But my anxiety needs to be directed somewhere, I can't make it just go away even though I would like it to. So my brain has decided to focus on the drive/being alone getting home and back. I am in charge of driving myself to Ann Arbor and home and back and home, for up to 5 days. Plus getting Brad home when he is finally released. Me thinks the in-laws need to go with me to pick him up! I don't like driving places where I have no idea of where I am. Yes, google maps street view or perhaps a Tom Tom...
I'm telling you I don't even know where Ann Arbor is! So hold your hand up to shape our great mitten and ummm...yep no clue...I do know it isn't directly East or anywhere North so I guess I kinda have an idea...but West and South is still a big area!
So today I went with Brad to his pre-op appt partially in hopes of feeling better about the drive. Well of course this appt is not held at the hospital, not on it's massive main campus- nope that might be too convenient.
After the pre-op Brad had me drive to the hospital. He showed me the parking ramp. Then he had me drive back out towards the e-way. Ok so today I know but next week will I? And then once I walk into the hospital, will I find my way back out?
And why in the world have I chosen this to be my main fear- good Lord my husband is having a 5 hour surgery and I'm concerned about how to get back home!
BTW, I do now know that Ann Arbor is straight down 23! Go me! Should I pass it... um yeah, I don't know where I'd end up...Detroit perhaps?
Don't worry Brad you are in safe hands, I'll get you home.....eventually!
Becky, I'm directionally challenged, too. If I'm in the front seat Nick will grab his GPS instead of asking me to look at a map. While in Spokane last spring we actually got lost because the GPS stopped working and I was useless, um absolutely useless reading the map.
ReplyDeleteYou will do just fine. Ann arbor is pretty much a straight shot. You guys are in my prayers! Like you blog by the way chica. :) Blogging is so addictive!
Would borrowing our GPS ease some anxiety for you? I don't see us needing it for at least 2 weeks. ??
ReplyDeleteNo, I think I can handle it. Having never used a GPS I am sure that would just confuse me more! But thanks!
